| Additional Information: | A two story brick commercial building distinguished by a prominent metal cornice which is accented by modillions. Four rectangular window openings mark the second story, while the lower storefront level has been significantly altered through the addition of metal siding and modern display windows. In 1883, the structure housed a saloon on the first floor and a harness shop on the second. The 1908 directory recorded the occupants as the Kopplin & Brog Saloon and the Hjalmer Johnson residence. Johnson was a salesman for the A.A. Cutter Company (A,B). |
